IT"S A BOY!!!!

We decided to include our family in the anatomy scan ultrasound. My aunt ended up staying the night at our house the night before so she wouldn't have to drive so far to the appt (she lives about 45 min away). We woke up Saturday morning and got dressed completely jittery. Ali went to pick up her parents and my aunt and I headed to the doctor's office. My mom, sister, aunt, Ali's mom and dad, and aunt were all there. When she called us in to the ultrasound room I got set up on the table and everyone gathered around. She scaned all of his body parts and showed me what different things were and it was increadible. She finally made it to the genitals and boom---there was a boy part!!!! We were so shocked and so in love all at the same time. I don't think there was a dry in the room. His name will be Bronx Avery. I can not wait to meet him. Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound

16 weeks

It is getting really close to finding out what this little nugget inside my tummy is. We have our anatomy ultrasound on March 19th!! I am so excited I can hardly wait. My mom and aunt are going to be there along with Ali's mother and aunt. Ali swears it's a girl, but she really wants a boy. I have no clue what it is. I know that it moves around alot in my belly lol. My fingers have swollen alot and I can't wear my wedding ring anymore :( Other than that everything is going perfect.

It's been a while

Last week I started to feel this fluttery pressure in my uterus which I thought was gas. Come to find out it has been happening everyday and only getting stronger. It's the baby moving!!! It is so incredible. I am so in love with this little person inside my tummy. We bought a SonoTrax Fetal Doppler too. It is very high tech and can pick up the baby's heartbeat. I listen every single day. I can't get enough of that sweet swooshing sound. We find out the gender of the baby in just 18 short days!! I am so very excited to name this little booger. For a girl we have decided to go with Avery Kay. For a boy Bronx Avery. I have been doing a poll on FB and the forum I frequent and it is pretty much a tie.

Second Trimester

Today I am exactly 13 weeks along. Most of the websites I have read say that week 13 marks the beginning of your 2nd trimester. I have had a head cold for about a week and have been on antibiotics and now it is starting to clear up. Ali went to the doctor yesterday because she apparently has it too. The doctor told her she has pneumonia. She feels horrible and I have been taking great care of her. I made her a sick couch and soup last night. I have been giving her all of her meds regularly and trying to keep her hydrated and checking her temps regularly. I am definitely showing now. I have been taking weekly pictures since I was 6 weeks and it is totally crazy to see the difference. I can't wait to start feeling the baby move.

The new OB..

Yesterday was our appt with the new doctor. As soon as we walked in I felt at home. It was nicely decorated and the patients waiting in the waiting area seemed to be very nice looking and very well dressed. I felt like it was more of my kind of place to be. I am not high maintenance or a snob but I like nice things and want to be surrounded by like minded people. I signed in and the receptionist gave me forms to fill out and asked for my insurance card and license. I waited about 5 minutes and then she escorted me down a long hallway. We passed several other small waiting areas and then we turned a corner and where at my doctors waiting area. The nurse checked my weight and asked me several questions and then had me collect a urine sample. We went in with the doctor and he gave me the run down of do's and don'ts. Answered all of my questions and gave me my new EDD of August 20th!! After we talked to him they took me down several hallways and through several doors until we arrived at the area where they do all of the ultrasounds. I waited for about 15 minutes then my name was called and then Ali and I went into this room that was very dimly lit and they lady asked me to lie down on the table and pull up my shirt. She squirted the jelly on my belly and then put the wand on my tummy. I saw the most amazing little nugget squirming around. It really looked like a baby. It was punching and kicking and jumping. It was so cute and she found the heart beat and said it was very strong. I am so in love with this baby and it has only been in my belly for 12 weeks!!

taking a turn

This week I have felt like I can do more. Like my energy is coming back. Granted, I am still alot more tired than before I was pregnant. I'm embarrassed to say, but my house has been neglected alot lately due to my constant need to sleep. I have been so lazy. Last night I deep cleaned the master bedroom and bathroom and put a dent in our laundry. I feel so much better already. We are having friends over from out of town next weekend and I want the house perfect for thier stay. I am freak about anyone seeing my house a mess. Our friends just had a baby girl in December and I just can't wait to have a baby in the house. We got our changing table this weekend too. Our appointment for our new OB is in 6 days and we are both excited. I think we will hear the heartbeat. I can't imagine how wonderful that sound is.

little update

Keeping up with a blog is hard work.....

A little update: 8weeks 5days, I had major cramping that night, decided I wouldn't call the on call number my doctor gave me and wait it out until the morning. When I woke up they weren't as bad and then throughout the day they got worse. Finally about 2:30 that afternoon I they were really bad and I had a feeling something was wrong. I went to the bathrrom and checked my cervix and I had a very tiny bit of spotting. I called the doctor in a panic and he said that implanatation occurs around weeks 7 and 8 and that is what it could be. I was like what the hell are you talking about? Implantation occurs in week 3!!!!! I am no doctor but I know that much. I was furious with the answer he gave me and he could tell so he told me to come in and get checked out and he would do an ultrasound. I went in that afternoon knowing it would be my last time visiting him. He did the ultrasound and I got to see the most amazing little creature in this world. Our baby!!! One, perfect, beauitful, beating heart. I felt better immediately. The next Monday I did some research on my doctor and found out that his license had been revoked a few years ago due to what I am assuming is sexual harassment. I called a doctor who was highly recommended to me and now I feel tons better and haven't even seen the new doctor.

My new doctor's appointment is on Feb 2nd (11weeks 4days) Hopefully they will do an ultrasound and use the doppler that day. I can't wait to here the sound of the heart beating. Since I switched doctors that switched the hospital I will deliver at and I am more pleased with the new hosiptal as well. I think it was a great dexicsion all around.

We did an intelligender test and it said BOY. I could still bet money that it will be a girl, but the test said boy. We will see in about 7 weeks.
